Cultural Resources Survey of Six Revetment and Levee Items Above New Orleans.

摘要

In September of 1980, Iroquois Research Institute conducted an archaeological survey of six revetment and levee items on the Mississippi River in Ascension, Jefferson, St. James, St. John the Baptist, and St. Charles Parishes, Louisiana. Five historic sites were discovered including the wooden hull of a ship, a wooden retaining wall, a modern concrete foundation, a trash dump, and an eroding brick scatter. Modern debris scatters were evident along the bank and batture throughout the project area. None of these sites is recommended to the National Register of Historic Places, and no further testing is recommended at the sites. (Author)
